Elawalu Roti/Srilankan Vegetable Roti

I came to know about this Srilankan vegetable roti aka Elawalu roti few years back when we were invited to one of my friend's place for a get together few years back. This vegetable roti is served as a starter or for snack with a cup of tea in Srilanka. My friend's mom told that this roti was an imported snacks from South India. Earlier this roti was a restaurant food, but now its one of the most popular and famous snack food in all over Srilanka. You can enjoy this vegetable loaded roti from breakfast, lunch or snacks. In Srilanka this roti is enjoyed anytime of the day and its considered as one of the best midnight snacks as the rotis are panfried and can be heaten slightly in microwave oven anytime.

Almost like our North Indian stuffed parathas, this rotis are stuffed with any sort of fillings, however i opted for a curried vegetable filling. If you are a meat lover, do prepare your favourite minced meat filling or minced fish filling to prepare this fantastic rotis. Shaped either as triangle or as rolls, this vegetable rotis will definitely please anyone's tastebuds. Definitely a super filling snack food to please some hungry tummies.Am running this week's blogging marathon with Sinhalese recipes as theme, after a fabulous Kimbula buns, i couldnt resist to post this most popular vegetable roti for this week's theme.
